There's no need for depression And no I don't have the blues Wouldn't wanna go to heaven If I can't go there with you And yes I still count my blessings When I am standing with you And no I've never learned my lesson I'm still a dedicated fool
And baby I will try for the sake of you and I And baby I will survive all the heartbreak love inspires
There's no need for guessing When you are faithfully true Though my body may wander My mind is always with you And in the depths of destruction There is but one golden rule Looking out unto your neighbor Save yourself first you silly fool
And baby I will try for the sake of you and I And baby I will get by on whatever you provide And baby I will survive all the heartbreak love inspires And baby I will survive, oh I will survive
Pull me in tighter, pull me in tighter, pull me in tighter, yeah Pull me in tighter, pull me in tighter, pull me in tighter, yeah Pull me in tighter, pull me in tighter, pull me in tighter, yeah Pull me in tighter, pull me in tighter, pull me in tighter, yeah
When you see me coming Take off your running shoes No arms and no weapons When I am coming for you
And baby I will try for the sake of you and I And baby I will get by on whatever you provide And baby I will survive all the heartbreak love inspires And baby I will survive, oh I will survive
I lean my head slowly to the side, reflect on the camellia on the moss
of the temple, reflect on a cup of tea, while outside the wind is rustling
the foliage, the forward rush of life is crystallised in a brilliant jewel
of a moment that knows neither plans nor future, human destiny is rescued
from the pale succession of days, glows with light at last and, surpassing
time, warms my tranquil heart.
